“ATTRACTIONS ICONICALLY DIFFERENT FROM THEIR ORIGINAL FORMS”
I didn’t know sphynx is typically spelled differently if it’s the cat breed vs the big monument, but as zagorath mentioned it already fit into another category; connections will do that sometimes and it expects you to solve other options to eliminate some if you have too many answers for a given theme. It’s frustrating, but part of the puzzle 🤷♂️
The Great Sphinx at Giza (usually spelt in English with an i) famously is missing its nose. A common (but unsupported) myth says that Napolean shot it off when he was occupying Egypt.
Sphynx cats (usually spelt in English with a y) are a breed of hairless domestic cat. Though I’ll admit when doing the puzzle, it didn’t occur to me, and I was just thinking about the Sphinx as being a cat body.

I thought blue was just landmarks/attractions also wasn’t the sphinx altered?
Blue is
